Chandler Jones

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is coming off his worst performance of the season, and one of the worst December performances of his career in last week's three-interception game against Baltimore. He knows he must be better this week against Arizona for the Dolphins (7-5) to keep their playoff hopes alive.

"Usually teams play their best football in December, that's just the way it is," he said. "I talk about it all the time: You want to improve every day, every week, and other teams are doing that as well. The best football should be played in December, so everyone has to raise their game just a little bit."
